Sub-neptunian planets and photoevaporation for BD+40 2790. The study: “The GAPS Programme at TNG. LIX: A characterisation study of the ∼300 Myr old multi-planetary system orbiting the star BD+40 2790 (TOI-2076)” of M. Damasso (INAF – OATo) appeared on A&A

The study of exoplanetary systems of stars with an age of a few hundred million years can teach us a great deal about the early and crucial evolutionary phases of planetary systems. Processes such as planetary migration, which causes planets to modify their distance from the central star, the circularization of orbits, and planetary photoevaporation play a fundamental role in
